Twenty cafes were read in the set someone searching around Ramsey is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. That is not a thin trade: the median cafe in that set holds 410.5 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed hold 2,789, 1,557 and 1,507. Gyms are the other trade where none of the twenty we read had answered any of their recent reviews, at a median of 105.5 reviews each.
Elsewhere the named businesses look very different. Andover Animal Hospital answered 10 of its last 10 reviews against a listing of 824; Elm Creek Animal Hospital answered 10 of its last 10 against 607. TB Nails answered 10 of its last 10 with 817 reviews on its listing, and LA NAILS - ANOKA, RAMSEY answered 10 of its last 10 with 706. Med spas carry the smallest median file of the twenty trades here at 31 reviews, and Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness LLC answered 10 of its last 10 with 274.
The size of a file and the amount answered under it are separate things. Restaurants have the largest median of the twenty trades at 985.5 reviews, and their three biggest listings hold 2,745, 2,300 and 2,228; Margie's Kitchen & Cocktails answered 8 of its last 10 with 1,757 reviews. Bakeries sit at a median of 112.5, and the two businesses answering the most there, Krown Bakery & Eatery and Kingdom Baking, each answered 7 of their last 10, on 610 and 240 reviews.
We measured 48 of the businesses someone searching in Ramsey is shown; a typical one answered 77% of its recent reviews. The population is 28,070 and the median household income is $112,060. The median rating is 4.4 for bars and 5 for med spas, massage, chiropractors and orthodontists, but a median is a single figure for a whole trade and does not tell you which listing is which.
What to do about it
If your listing already holds hundreds of reviews, don't try to work backwards through all of them. The reply counts on this page are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, so start at the newest and work down until those are covered, then keep pace with what arrives. Catching up once and keeping up are two different jobs. A file the size of Margie's Kitchen & Cocktails' 1,757 was never going to be answered end to end.
Answer the good ones alongside the difficult ones, and write each reply in your own words rather than out of a template. And if you are in one of the trades sitting on a small median file - med spas are at 31 - the arithmetic is kinder to you: a handful of answered reviews covers far more of that listing than the same handful would under one holding 824.
Food & drink in Ramsey, MN
Twenty cafés were read in the set someone searching around Ramsey is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. The listings are not thin: the median review count across those twenty is 410.5, and the three most-reviewed hold 2789, 1557 and 1507 reviews. Those totals are whole Google files, while the reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews.
Restaurants show the highest median review count of the five food and drink trades read here, 985.5, with the three biggest listings at 2745, 2300 and 2228. Margie's Kitchen & Cocktails answered 8 of its last 10 reviews and holds 1757. Short or Tall Eatery & Drink Hall, which holds 2745, answered 4 of its last 10. That same business is also the one answering the most of its recent reviews among the twenty bars we read, where the median review count is 698.5.

Hair, nails & barbering in Ramsey, MN
Three nail salons answered every one of their last ten reviews. TB Nails did it on a listing holding 817 Google reviews, LA NAILS – ANOKA, RAMSEY on 706, and Adore Nails on 631. Those are the three answering the most of the 20 nail salons we read, and all three sit at 10 of 10. The three most-reviewed nail listings in the set hold 817, 804 and 706 reviews, and the median across the 20 is 224.
The hair salons someone searching around Ramsey is shown carry far thinner files: a median of 68 Google reviews across the 20 we read, against 224 for nail salons. The reply counts do not track that difference. GiGi's Salon & Spa - Ramsey answered 10 of its last 10 on a listing of 531 reviews, and Avalon Salon & Co answered 10 of its last 10 on a listing of 207. The three biggest hair listings hold 622, 531 and 209 reviews.

Spa & aesthetics in Ramsey, MN
Three med spas we read — Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness LLC, TC Medspa & Laser and InnerBeauty Med Spa & Laser — each answered all 10 of their last 10 reviews, on listings holding 274, 263 and 166 reviews. The median med spa file in that set is 31 reviews, the smallest median of the four trades in this group. Dermatology sits at the other end on depth: a median of 91, with the three most-reviewed listings at 589, 558 and 437. Forefront Dermatology Rogers, MN answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 412 reviews; Brooke Moss, PA-C, MPH answered 9 of the last 10, on 358.
Massage is where the figures pull apart. The median rating across the 20 massage businesses we read is 5, and a median is one figure for a whole set — it does not tell you which listing is which. Of the massage businesses answering the most of their recent reviews, Fiona's Day Spa answered 10 of its last 10, on 185 reviews. Anoka Massage & Pain Therapy, with 517 reviews on its listing, answered 2 of its last 10. Those are the ones answering the most; the rest of the twenty we read are not described here at all.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |

| Day spas | 75 | 4.95 | GiGi's Salon & Spa - Ramsey | 10 of 10 |

Fitness & wellness in Ramsey, MN
Not one of the 20 gyms we read had answered any of its recent reviews. That is not a quiet corner of the map: the three most-reviewed gyms in that set hold 713, 354 and 298 Google reviews, and the median across the 20 is 105.5. The two figures come from different windows, which matters here — the review counts describe whole listings, while the reply count is drawn only from each business's most recent reviews. The writing has arrived. Nothing recent has been answered under it.
Among the 20 chiropractors we read, three had answered most of their recent reviews. HealthSource Chiropractic of Elk River answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing holding 378 reviews. Health and Healing Family Chiropractic answered 9 of its last 10, with 296. Healing Hands Family Chiropractic answered 7 of its last 10, and its listing holds 392. Those are the three answering the most; what the rest of the twenty we read do is not something these three can tell you.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gyms | 105.5 | 4.45 | — | |
| Chiropractors | 176 | 5 | HealthSource Chiropractic of Elk River | 10 of 10 |
Dental & orthodontics in Ramsey, MN
Fifth Ave Dental answered 9 of its last 10 reviews and carries 1,033 Google reviews, the largest listing among the 20 dentists we read. Dental Care on Parkview answered 9 of its last 10, with 648 reviews. Sunwood Dental Care answered 9 of its last 10, with 647. Those three are the ones answering the most of their recent reviews out of the twenty; the rest of the twenty we read are not named here, and their reply behaviour is not something this page claims to describe.
The 20 orthodontists we read look similar at the top. Sunwood Dental Care answered 9 of its last 10 there too, alongside 649 reviews. Milestone Orthodontics answered 9 of its last 10, with 392. Woodlake Orthodontics - Anoka answered 9 of its last 10, with 234. The median review count is 151.5 for orthodontists and 296.5 for dentists, and the three biggest orthodontic listings hold 649, 392 and 234. The median rating is 5 for orthodontists and 4.85 for dentists, though a trade median is a single figure for the whole set of twenty and says nothing about which listing is which.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dentists | 296.5 | 4.85 | Fifth Ave Dental | 9 of 10 |
| Orthodontists | 151.5 | 5 | Sunwood Dental Care | 9 of 10 |
Pets in Ramsey, MN
Three veterinary practices someone searching around Ramsey is shown had answered every one of their last ten reviews: Andover Animal Hospital, which holds 824 Google reviews, Elm Creek Animal Hospital at 607, and Oak Grove Animal Hospital at 557. Those are also the three most-reviewed veterinary listings among the 20 we read, and the median for that trade is 250.5 reviews — against 84.5 for pet grooming and 79.5 for pet boarding.
Grooming and boarding each carry businesses at the same reply count. Scenthound Coon Rapids answered 10 of its last 10 and holds 334 reviews; Pretty Paws answered 10 of its last 10 and holds 264. In boarding, Blaine Kennels Boarding, Training & Daycare answered 10 of its last 10 and holds the largest boarding file we read at 384 reviews, and PetSuites Blaine answered 10 of its last 10 with 271.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |

Shops & studios in Ramsey, MN
Three listings among the tattoo studios a customer searching around Ramsey is shown hold 703, 663 and 638 Google reviews. The median across the 20 we read is 119.5. Red Lotus Tattoo, whose listing carries 299 reviews, answered 7 of its last 10. Time Bomb Ink, with 237 reviews, answered 3 of its last 10.
Captive Elements carries 638 reviews and answered 1 of its last 10. That pairing is worth separating out, because two different windows are in play on this page. The reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews; the review counts are the whole listing. A deep file and a recent reply count measure different things, and the first tells you nothing about the second.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tattoo studios | 119.5 | 4.8 | Red Lotus Tattoo | 7 of 10 |
Method
Every figure comes from public Google listings — the businesses and owner replies any customer can see — read on 2026-09-24. Counts describe the businesses someone searching in Ramsey, MN is shown, which is the competitive set a customer actually chooses from, not a register of businesses inside the city limits. A business is named only where we read at least eight of its recent reviews, and only the ones answering the most are named; the rest of a market appears as a distribution with its denominator. Chains are counted but never named. Nothing is ranked on star rating. Ramsey, MN has a population of 28,070 and a median household income of $112,060 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
